Abstract

This entry offers a comprehensive analysis of Judith Shklar’s engagement with the concept of diversity, particularly through her 1986 book Legalism. Although Shklar never explicitly framed her work around “diversity” as a keyword, the entry argues that it was a central, animating concern throughout her thought. Drawing from her personal history as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Europe, Shklar developed a form of liberalism that prioritizes tolerance, pluralism, and the protection of “permanent minorities.”
